Edwin Jackson has been traded to the the Chicago White Sox. So far there is no word on exactly what the Diamondbacks are getting in return, but most rumors suggest it will be a minor league pitcher.
This is a great move by the White Sox. In my eyes this will give Chicago the division. What is going to be interesting is that theri have been rumors that the White Sox might now turn around and traded Jackson to the Nationals for Adam Dunn.
If they do keep Jackson he should help this rotation deal with the loss of Peavy. Him along with the strong 2nd half push from Danks and Floyd the White Sox are in very good shape. I also like that they brought in a guy who had a good amount of success vs. the AL Central.
***UPDATE***
The Diamondbacks got Daniel Hudson and pitching prospect David Holmberg. I have to say that this makes me like this deal a little less. I am kind of a believer in Hudson.
